I changed the ip, was able to login to normal admin portal but couldn't do much with it. Root still didn't login, internet didn't work.

Funnily enough, my phone, which browsed initially, stopped browsing when I tried other ports and back to the first lan port.

Now I have a theory as to why it initially browsed on phone and not pc. I turned 5G optimization on and the phone typically connects with 2.4Ghz and the pc 5Ghz. Apparently using the X25 as wired router only works with 2.4Ghz when 5G Optimization is on. I stand to be corrected.

I tried many time to get the router to browse again even on the phone with no luck. I even had to switch off the 5g optimization and reboot the router many times with no success. I had to reluctantly reset it to factory settings, still to no avail.

I just plugged MC801A back. I no dey try again jare. Maybe tomorrow but not tonight again cheesy
😁

It can be stressful getting it to work. That’s assuming it will work especially considering they’re from different manufacturers.

You can check if your ODU recognises the X25 when you plug it in.

Good luck.

It's working when I visit it while using just the router connected to power, but when connected via the ODU, the IP doesn't open.

Meanwhile, when only power and it opens, admin and root do not login.

root and root also don't. Apparently that superuser interface is not available for this router. This is the normal X25 and not the pro or max variant.
You can try to make the changes with the normal log in.

As for not being able to access the page when connected to the ODU, it may be due to IP conflict.

What you should do is log in without connecting to the ODU, then change the LAN IP address to something like 192.168.5.1 then save. This will be the new address you’ll be using to log in.

How does that logging in as root work?

I'm testing with the X25 now and, somehow, it's plug and play but it's only browsing in my phone and not browsing on pc. Also, 192.168.1.1, where I would have logged in to change settings is not working.

I will just test with another port now.

I will report when I get it working properly.
User: root
Password: admin

Maybe you changed the LAN IP address. If you did, then you may not be able to log in using that address. If you can’t remember what you set it to, then you may have to reset the router.

I replied you and the bot deleted my comment unnecessarily. I don't understand what's going on Nairaland. There was nothing explicit in any way in my comment. Seun, you need to do something about your bot.

Anyway, I don't know the default gateway either.

Regarding the DNS, I don't think changing it changes anything. Only the use of VPN has been effective for me.

Yeah, I have tried the X25 as IDU and i keep getting the 'No Internet' error, so I don't think it's plug and play. Some setting has to be changed, I just don't know where the connection mode is for the router. I mean where to change it to Cable mode, and then proceed to select either Dynamic or Static. Hopefully, you may be able to figure it out.
Log in as root user, find the Internet Function settings, go to network settings and change the WAN mode to wired.

Some people here said they were able to tweak it and visit specific sites without issues. I have same thought as you but when someone showed a screenshot of said site visited without problems, it was still Airtel they said they used. That's why I keep trying.
I tried opening the site and it’s not going through as well either with router or normal data.

Airtel doesn’t use only one public IP. They have multiple IPs they assign to different areas. Perhaps it’s some of the IP addresses that have that issue so it’s possible you are on an IP that can’t access while others who are able to open the site are on a different IP address.

Please are you able to visit pexels dot com seamlessly?

Did you connect through dynamic mode or you set up the static IP option?

I don't know why Airtel is struggling to open this site in all my routers. I have to always use a VPN before it works well.
The Pexels may be an issue with Airtel public IP address so there’s little you can do than to use VPN. It’s not from the router. It’s from the network.

I think this is one of the most useless router out there it has zero tweak functionality i can't even find a way to lock Band or Cell
The dumbest of them all I guess. Very basic interface.

The network reception is not that bad though.

Thanks brother, I didn't want to bring down the odu, but had to in order to get the password too.

First impressions this seems like a more robust equipment especially when compared to the zlt.
I knew you had to because of the password. The installer told me to snap before he hung it.

Honestly, I think the ODU and IDU are a perfect pair. Airtel just need to improve their network for better user experience.

This one is looking interesting.

Has anyone read the specs? I will try to search for it again. When I casually searched earlier, it seems both IDU and ODU are Huawei devices. Huawei makes good routers.

Abeg make una dey update us on the performance going forward.
Well, I think it's okay. I do get full 5G and 4G bars. The 5G works well during the day but unstable evenings and the latency is high. More of a reception issue anyway.

Luckily I found a 4G band that works well. I locked to that and it's been working well. Getting the 50mpbs steady and the latency is much better.

The IDU has single SSID option for 2.4ghz and 5ghz (which you can disable) and it has been working flawlessly.

The powerbank should do 3 hours at least. Not fully tested. The performance is stable while on powerbank.

There are so many functions you can adjust on the IDU.

This is my experience so far.

It's mostly not the devices but their own services.

They need to up their game, and fast.

I have been trying to register the ZTE G5F which they insisted to register via esim. The thing has been saying my NIN failed validation... nin I have used severally. This kept happening and stalling my acquisition of the ODU I already paid for, for almost 2 weeks. I even had to go NIN office to do NIN validation that shouldn't have happened... Wasted my money!

Today Sha, I wend there and insisted and one of them tried my advice of using the physical sim, which worked. They did well by keeping the device for me as they have run out of devices.

I just took the sim and left. They should come install it any day they want. If it expires, I go acquire that Huawei own. grin
I think they now use physical SIM only now. They've ditched the eSIM.

PropertiesRe: Lady Damages Her Apartment After Landlord Refused To Refund Her Caution Fee by Osyxcel(m): 4:07pm On Nov 27, 2023
unbiased2021:
You’re saying nonsense. Caution fee is refundable and the landlord knew this before asking her to pay



Modified

In my previous apartment, I went above and beyond to maintain and even improve its condition. I repainted, repaired minor damages, and upgraded the lighting fixtures to better ones that suited my taste. Despite these efforts and living there for nearly two years, my landlord refused to return my caution payment of 150k when I moved out. This was particularly unjust since I left the apartment in a better state than when I moved in, with high-quality fittings.

I completely empathize with the woman's actions in a similar situation. Although I didn't resort to damaging the property like she did, her actions seem justified given the circumstances.

Also, a side note on landlords' overreach: mine tried to claim my chandelier, which I had brought from my previous residence. Thankfully, I had pictures as proof of ownership.
To be honest, that apartment looks neat. It's obvious the tenant didn't damage things in the house and she probably spent money in improving the apartment. The landlord should have refunded her.

While I empathize with the woman, I do not support the malicious destruction of the installations.
PhonesRe: There's Only One Phone In Nigeria With 4K Camera (and It's Just 30k) by Osyxcel(m):
What exactly is the purpose of this thread? Are you selling the phone?

The last phone LeEco made was in 2017 (this one was made in 2016) and stuck on Android 6 which Apps are increasingly no longer supporting.

Are you saying people should buy a support-lacking Chinese phone of 7 years just because it's a cheap 4k shooter below #100k?

Samsung S7 of the same year, with better hardware also shoots 4k and had better support, is also less than #100k.

Did you update to MIUI 13 recently?

Experienced same last week after I updated to MIUI 13 2 weeks ago. Prior to that, the battery showed no signs of deterioration. I didn't want to jump into conclusion it's the update, so I believed it's just a coincidence and that the battery has failed.

I had to replace the battery, when the original battery was removed, everything looked okay with no signs of swelling.

You can tell your technician to disconnect and reconnect the battery and see if that works. If not, just replace the battery.
